I had a fab holiday at Elen's castle Hotel, Dolwyddelan last week. This is a very homely and welcoming Hotel. In a Beautiful location in the Snowdonia National Park. I visit this great Hotel 2 or 3 times a year. The big advantage is it's a Dog Friendly Hotel.

Nice cosy hotel. Traditional and comfortable. Nice views to the front of the hotel. Dog made welcome too. Good food and pleasant rooms. Very well placed for all Snowdonia attractions. Very good value for money.

Thank you for the lovely review. We love well-behaved dogs (and guests too)! Hope to see you again soon.

There are really only 2 places to eat in Dolwyddelan, so we decided to try Elen's Castle Hotel and Restaurant on Saturday night, duly booking ahead by phoning for a reservation. The gentleman who took the booking was very professional and courteous. We had booked for 19:00 and arrived at 18:55 to be pointed to a side room with the...

I am sorry you had to wait. There had obviously been a mistake as your booking was for 7.30 p.m. according to the person who took your phone booking! We try our very best to accommodate all customers and if there is to be a delay we do our best to let you know, out of politeness, as we think...

I treated my other half to an adventure weekend in North Wales and spent 2 nights at Elens.
The rooms were clean and bed was very comfortable!
We arrived late on Friday and were told for places to go to get some food which was greatly appreciated.
Had dinner in on Saturday and found the food very homely and tasty....

Thank you for your great review. You must have stayed in our twin room, room 12 as all other rooms do get wifi. Really sorry about that. It is the only bedroom that we can't seem to boost the wifi to because of the hugely thick slate walls! We are still working on this problem and can only apologise if...

We are twice here during our week long trip to Snowdonia. Fantastic food, good portions and a balanced choice of dishes. We were very happy both times we visited.
The restaurant is well laid out and there is a small bar to have a drink while you pick your menu choices and wait for your table.
The waiting staff were...

Stayed at this hotel for one night while exploring snowdonia with a group of four and I can honestly say it was worth every single penny.
Nice views from the hotel and the group room was like a flat and was divided into three separate sections.
Friendly staff and brilliant food service.
Thanks guys

You are very welcome! Thank you so much for the lovely review. Hope to see you again soon.

Lucked out with our choice of hotel for our 4 day visit to beautiful Snowdonia. This quaint family run hotel has plenty of character with its period charm, great views from the dining room and a cosy old pub style bar. Helen and Adam have obviously worked hard to bring the hotel up to modern standards whilst maintaining the beautiful...

Great to hear you had a lovely stay and thank you for the recommendation.

We had a great stay here in July 16. We arrived very late on the Friday which was no problem at all for the staff. We were shown too our 4 Poster room which was lovely. It was clean and comfortable. It has a nice bathroom. The bed was great and we had a brilliant sleep both nights. We stayed...

Thanks for your review. It was lovely to meet you both. You are right about the garden furniture. It has been on our 'to do' list for a while. However, co-ordinating our free time with favourable weather has been limiting! The furniture has now been repainted and re-varnished over the last few weeks. The plant pots around the front door...

Staff really friendly but over priced for what's on offer.
More a pub with rooms than hotel
Had stayed in three hotels across Wales during week, all same price but facilities far less good here
Tired & a bit grubby
Mould in bathroom
Drank tea from cup in bedroom & tasted strongly of disinfectant
Breakfast only served between 8am-9am so...

A lovely historical inn with all modern comforts. Beautiful location in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. Friendly and comfortable with excellent breakfasts and dinner. Family friendly with ideal family suites. Cosy bar with log-burning stove. Great Welsh castle just a short walk away. Stunning views. Free parking and high-speed broadband internet connection....more less
